Future home of the Pro2Future Competence Centre in Styria: TU Graz’s Inffeldgasse Campus.
Approximately 45 researchers will work in the Pro2Future - Products and Production Systems of the Future - Competence Centre from 2017, for which funds in an amount of EUR 19 million have been approved. "Pro2Future" - "Products and Production Systems of the Future" - is the key challenge for industry systems of the future reduced to a single word. Industrial enterprises in Styria and Upper Austria, working in co-operation with the leading technical research institutions (Johannes Kepler University of Linz, TU Graz and PROFACTOR) from these provinces as well as international research institutions, have turned this challenge into an initiative to set up the first research centre worldwide dedicated to this specific topic. The project application for the Pro2Future industrial research centre as a COMET K1-Centre was approved last week. The COMET Competence Centre Programme is financed by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy, by the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology and also by the participating provinces and industry. It is coordinated and managed by the FFG, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency. The intention of Pro2Future is to create a next generation of industrial information and communication technologies (ICT), cognitive products and industry systems - the catchword being Smart Production.
